Investigators say four days passed between the time a Cambridge, Iowa man killed his wife and the time they discovered her body in the couple’s home.

Someone called police April 14 and reported 49-year-old Vallerie Cory had not been seen since Friday, April 4, 2014, according to an affidavit filed by investigators. The caller said Vallerie’s husband, 44-year-old Jeremy Cory, had been threatening her with a loaded gun.

When Huxley, Iowa Police went to the Cory home in Cambridge, they found Vallerie’s body in an upstairs bedroom.
